Zeller polar bears fight back and take over the lead

An exciting ice hockey game took place on Tuesday evening in Austria, in which the Zeller Eisbären struggled in an impressive way in the Alps Hockey League (AHL). After a bitter derby defeat four weeks ago, the polar bears performed as a spoiler of the Kitzbüheler Sieg series and showed a strong performance that inspired both their own fans and the travelers who traveled with them. The Zeller team could not be discouraged by two residues and turned the game within minutes.

After an early 2-0 deficit, which the Tyroleans scored by goals by Sebastian Labori and Chris Schutz, the polar bears did not give up. Max Stiegler made the connection goal in the first section, followed by captain Robin Johansson before the first break. With a 2-2 stand, both teams went into the first break.

final sprint in the final third

In the middle section, the Kitzbüheler put pressure on again and took the lead again with a goal of Captain Henrik Hochfilzer. But the polar bears were undeterred. Sebastian Labori scored the 4: 2 for the Tyroleans, who almost felt like the safe winners. But the Zeller Eisbären once again demonstrated their strength and bowled their opponents in a gripping showdown.

Fredrik Widen, a defender of the polar bear, became the hero of the evening when he scored the game -decisive goal 46 seconds before the end of the regular season, and in double outnumbered, which set the final result to 5: 4. With this victory, the polar bears also secured the lead in the AHL. Coach Marcel Rodman was happy: "In the end we really deserved the victory because we played very well overall. We regulated this with our mentality," he said in an interview.

joy of victory and modesty

The polar bears celebrate the important success, but Coach Rodman remains modest. "Of course that's nice. But we have October. I'm more of a guy who ends up looking at the big picture," he added. It now remains to be seen how this league lead will affect the upcoming games, especially on Friday when the Zeller Eisbären compete against Celje at home. After seven victories in a row, great expectations rest on the team that would like to confirm their performance in the upcoming games.
